Brake pad replacement in Dubai, done the way an Audi needs it
New front or rear pads, sensors and a disc check
- 24-mo warranty included
- ~30 min arrival in Dubai
- Free fitting + coding
Brake pad replacement fits new pads on the front or rear axle, with new wear sensors and a check of the discs and fluid. We book your Audi into a partner workshop in Dubai, often for the same day. Message us on WhatsApp or call and tell us which warning you see or what you hear.
On an Audi specifically
Audi models with an electronic parking brake need the rear calipers wound back through a diagnostic service mode before the pads come out. Forcing the pistons back by hand can damage the parking brake motors. Pad wear is signalled by a sensor in the pad, which is used up once it triggers the warning.
When you need it
- Brake pad warning light on the instrument cluster
- Squeal or grinding when you brake
- Vibration through the pedal or steering wheel under braking
- The car needs more pedal travel to stop than before
What the job covers
-
Pads for one axle
Both sides of the axle are replaced together with pads of the correct shape and rating for your brakes.
-
Wear sensor
A triggered pad wear sensor is replaced, otherwise the warning light stays on with new pads.
-
Disc measurement
Disc thickness and surface are measured against the minimum stamped on the disc, and you see the numbers.
-
Caliper service
Slide pins and pad carriers are cleaned and greased so the new pads move freely and wear evenly.

Battery trouble as well?
Batteries are our core work. If the car is slow to start or shows a low battery message, we can test it free on the same visit.

Short answers. Anything else — WhatsApp us.
How long can I drive after the brake pad warning comes on?
The warning means the pads are near their limit, not gone. You can drive carefully for a short time, but book the job within days. Once you hear grinding, metal is cutting the disc and the repair grows.
Do I need new discs with new pads?
Only if the discs are below minimum thickness, deeply scored, cracked or warped. The minimum is stamped on the disc and it can be measured in a minute. Ask to see the reading before you agree.
Can rear pads be changed without a diagnostic tool?
Not properly on an Audi with an electronic parking brake. The caliper motors have to be retracted in service mode and reset afterwards. Workarounds risk damaging the motor or leaving a parking brake fault on the dash.
Why do my brakes squeal after new pads?
New pads need a short bedding-in period, and light squeal can fade in that time. Lasting squeal usually means glazed discs, missing anti-squeal shims or carriers that were not cleaned. Go back and have it checked.
